About as satirical as a "War for Oil" crusade . . . ?

Who's fighting for whose land? It's a bloody (literally) free-for-all.

Get over it, b.

And I see it's a real easy argument, when you answer your own questions. Do you talk to yourself much?

The correct answers:

Did we prevent Vietnam from going communist?

"Going communist?" Vietnam was communist when we went in.

Did we bring democracy to Iraq?

Yes. ISIS has yet to have given the nation the chance to vote.

Did all the countries in the Middle East then take up “democracy”?

Of course not. Did you expect them to?

Do they all love us?

Aw-w. >'scuse me -- tearing up, now.<

Is Afghanistan a democracy?

Yes. Being basically corrupt it's not a very good example, but it is a democracy.

Does the average Afghani love us?

I'm not there. Are you? I know there are a few people in Europe who don't care much for us, as well as Asia, a lot of Central America, a good chunk of South America, maybe three people in Africa do... Obama’s got quite a following.

It’s not working according to the stated governmental goals. So why keep doing it?

It's a bureaucracy (AKA, therefore a cumbersome process), and it's our job (AKA, we, the American voters).

Who benefits?

Really? Duh! - the world.

Let’s move on to your idea that bombing in the Middle East is somehow keeping you safe. That’s a stretch. Who has the aircraft, the aircraft carriers, the money and all the rest of it necessary to bomb you? Come on.

If you actually read it, I stated for the security of the West. I'm a bit over weight, but I'm not quite that big.

Are we bombing airfields so they can’t launch and get you? Do you know how ridiculous you sound? (No.)

Cute.

No, we are not bombing air fields -- as far as I know. We're hitting depots (AKA, source targets). If they become a threat, the airfields will likely follow, complete with 'no-fly-zones.'

Who owns the land after the airplane disappears? The people who live there. And there’s no question about it.

I'm afraid there are thousands of questions about that, directed from persons uprooted, over the past few years alone, never minding the centuries. Here in the US alone, we have law suites in place for the reinstatement of Native American lands, including a quarter of Ohio and all of Midtown Manhattan.

The rest of that paragraph is pure crap -- not that any of the post was much better.

I think you need to step away from the fringe sites. Shall we now get back to Neville Chamberlain and your master-plan that we should all just stick our collective heads in the sand and hope for the best?
